R. F. Calland served with the Royal Artillery in North Africa, and was taken prisoner of war there in 1943. He was interned at Slalag IV-D/Z at Torgau, Saxony-Anhalt; in 1944 this camp became a repatriation camp for prisoners who were to be returned either for exchange or due to ill health, and the camp was liberated in April 1945.
